Broadly Classify Technical Challenges
 Distributed model leads to a perception
of higher risk and security challenges. A
cloud service provider can mitigate
these risks by establishing an effective
security and controls framework in the
following areas:
Identity and risk management
Compliance and audit
Application level security
Data backup and recovery
Legal
Broadly Classify Business Challenges
 Vendor lock-in is perceived as a significant
challenge to the adoption of cloud computing.
Vendors can currently mitigate this concern by
making their services more transparent so that
customers can understand how their resources are
being managed.
Efforts need to be made to develop forums such as
the Open Cloud Alliance to enable the development
of more transparent and interoperable solutions.
Usage-based pricing models with monthly or hourly
billings can be used to compare costs with the
current datacenter costs and estimate the ROI.
Broadly Classify Environmental
Challenges
 Vendors need to create effective
strategies on the value proposition and
features (what to sell) for different
market segments (whom to sell) and a
definitive sales and channel partner
strategy (how to sell).
Cloud-computing adoption case studies
of customers worldwide should be made
available to enterprises to help them
clearly understand the areas where
cloud IaaS services benefits can be
